Put a baton in Phil Brown's hand for a relay, and he was an incredible anchor leg runner.

David Coleman couldn't decide if the last leg was run by Phil Bennett,Todd Bennett or Phil Brown.😂

what a fantastic era I grew up in .

Harold Schmidt ran second leg for West Germany. One of the most underrated runners of all time. Had it not been for Edwin Moses, who knows how many Olympic and World golds he would've had. 1987 400 hurdles, one of the greatest races of all time!!

Brilliant, Todd, RIP

great run by gary cook against scmidt

Todd Bennett ran the best leg there for GB Team. I was lucky enough to of ran against todd in 4x100m relays and 4x400m and a couple o 100m races too. He was a flyer and he noticed me getting better in each race and was very encouraging to me to keep doing what I was doing as in the 4x100m race we had I was on the same leg as him and I was able to keep up with him on that leg of the relay. I moved to Ireland that year 1993 and 1 last race of the ur and managed 11.1sec which was so close to breaking that magical barrier for a sprinter of 11 sec and firmly put me in the no 1 slot for my County for the nxt 10yrs with my best being 10.70sec. God I wud of love to of beaten todd back then. But what a gent, I wud of loved to of had him as my coach as I'm sure he cud of got me to run faster no problem??

My dad ran the 1st round for the Soviet Union

Harmut Weber who ran the West German anchor here and was the individual 400 meter champion from these championships finished 5th the year later in the Helsinki world championships plus a silver in the relay and just disappeared after that.

Todd Bennett is my friend daenas dad ! he is an incredible coach !

great run by weber

Mgnificent. Thnx for posting.

Классный забег!

Coleman keeps calling Brown Bennett.....that unintentional block at the bend cost him

gary cook was a true great relay 2nd leg runner

Great footage. I can picture an increasingly frustrated producer (or whoever) trying to remind David Coleman that Britain’s anchor leg man was Phil Brown, who as far I can recall never played fly half for Wales.

Phil Brown - Top Brummie

Anchor leg by Phil Bennet...the Welsh rugby player..how versatile !

das waren noch sportler...einfach nur weltklasse und das werden wir nieeeee wieder erleben

Nice to see Mr Kathy Cook running the second leg for GB.....😜😅

Jenkins was probably on something that year - I saw him at a training session in Nottingham in 1982 on the ground roaring in pain, clutching a calf muscle before he even started the session.

Two British athletes . David Jenkins and Todd Bennett. Know who I prefer. Rip todd

Mennea was in the forth leg for Italy, he ran fine, as usual, but was too fare away.

Great silver by Phil Bennet, I mean Todd Bennett, I mean Phil Brown, sorry about that. Really unprofessional of me

Only David Coleman could get Todd Bennett and Phil Brown mixed up.

Great Britain done well in this race

Great runner too. Was a world recorder holder one time over.

Jenkins said he started taking steriods in the winter of 1975, which was why he was number one in the world pre-drugs, but not after! Total shame, brilliant athlete.

Jenkins was always a good anchor-leg runner; one of the reasons I became interested in athletics; no idea why he started with drugs.... couldn't see any other way to improve?

Didn't the Polish runner cross in front of the GB runner before the 3rd() chageover; causing GB to lose a place? Were they dq'd?

Harald Weber!!!

Gordon Bennett?

what do u mean by "i lost"..?..are u one of the USSR runners?

Phil Brown should have waited until the homestraight and then drifted into lane three. Not sure he would have passed the winner but he would have been much closer.

Any individual 400m men for this championship?

With better baton changes GB would have won - Phil was cruising and probably should have trusted himself to go for the win slightly sooner

Possibly the most cringe commentary in the history of athletics. 🙄 You had one job which involved 4 names! 🤨

Typical rubbish commentary from Coleman. "Phil Bennett". The guy always ballsed people's names up.
